Industry Specific ITIs

With an intention to provide trained people as per the requirements of industry, State government is going ahead with a plan to establish industry-specific Industrial Training Institutes (ITI) across the ten districts of the State.

Efforts are on to change the syllabus to make it suitable to train the students in acquiring skills needed by the industry. The Technical Education wing of the government is contemplating to link them to the industries as well. Government says that such institutes would ensure a rise in the number of employable youngsters from the semi-educated rural youth in the future.

"While announcing the agricultural ITI, Chief Minister has also hinted that several other such institutes would come up in other districts of the State"

The Industrial Training Institutes were established with an intention to train the youngsters in taking up the technical jobs in the industries. However, existing curriculum was not meeting the present day standards of the industry and therefore created a need to relook into it. Government sources said that industry-specific training centres would come up one by one in due course and the process has already begun in this direction. Each centre would train the students in a particular sector. 

Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has recently sanctioned an Agricultural ITI for the Yellareddy mandal in Nizamabad district. This ITI would help train the students in agriculture related technology. 
The construction of Yellareddy ITI would begin very soon. While announcing the agricultural ITI, Chief Minister has also hinted that several other such institutes would come up in other districts of the State.

The districts that were identified for industrial specific ITIs are Medak, Karimnagar, Khammam, Adilabad and Mahabubnagar. ITI with Forest as core subject would come up in in Adilabad and Irrigation and Electricity related one would come up in Mahabubnagar.
